The Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) is a signatory of the American Historical Association's statement released April 21 condemning the current administration’s immigration policies and practices, which "threaten the vitality of historical work through the targeting of international scholars for increased scrutiny and legal action."
The statement opens:
"International scholars are an integral part of the community of historians represented by the American Historical Association. These students, staff, and faculty contribute to America’s public culture and prosperity through their research, teaching, and broader participation in the intellectual life of higher education. The current administration’s immigration policies and practices threaten the vitality of historical work through the targeting of international scholars for increased scrutiny and legal action. The American Historical Association condemns policies and practices that target international scholars. We deplore the atmosphere of fear and repression created by the harassment of foreign-born students and scholars by government agencies."
At the time of writing, 29 organizations have signed on to the statement.
